    Another disappointment and this had a lot of potential. The story seemed dark and interesting at first but just went lighthearted and very bland. At least the characters do get some screen time but still are uninteresting. The gameplay was the most disappointing aspect of this game. The boost gameplay somehow got so downgraded from Unleashed.

At least the characters do get some screen time but still are uninteresting. The gameplay was the most disappointing aspect of this game. The boost gameplay somehow got so downgraded from Unleashed. The 3D levels felt super bland and so uninteresting to play through and they only last for about a minute what the hell sonic team. This game shows how Unleashed got everything right and how underrated and unappreciated it is treated. The 2D levels are ok but don't play like in sonic mania that's for sure. Overall, a very disappointing sonic game and just please release a Unleashed remastered, cause its a lot better than this downgrade version.… Expand

    Sonic forces is amazing start if you new to the Sonic franchise, I Have nothing bad say about the gameplay except with retro Sonic he just never really feel good to use and always horror to play but he's maybe 20% of the game so is not that bad, soundtrack is amazing and it may be the biggest reason to why i enjoyed it so much ,

Los niveles les falta bastante diseno ya q en la lejania no se ve nada, todo esta practicamente vacio, nisiquiera tienen Idle Animations... Los mejores niveles son los de Sonic moderno y aun asi son cortos y lentos, mientras tanto el episodio Shadow tiene solo 3 niveles y solo uno vale la pena. No tiene batallas de jefes q valen la pena. En los trailers te mostraban a los 3(+Zavok) jefes mas famosos de toda la saga y solo puedes luchar contra uno, mientras q los otros solo te enfrentas en unas cutscenes bastante tontas. Este juego ciertamente es decepcionante y mas con lo tanto q esperaba de el despues de Sonic Mania y Super Mario Oddisey.… Expand

I have no idea why, I loved modern sonic, I loved the OC, I did not, however, love classic sonic Hell I didn’t even TOLERATE classic sonic he sucked so bad.

    I know modern and the OC levels had their own problems but I loved them, if the game was all OC levels and sonic levels I wouldn’t mind In fact if they fixed a few problems and removed classic sonic I’d give this game a 10.

    In fact the only reason it’s getting a 7 right now is because it’s the first boost game we’ve gotten in 7 years (thanks a lot Nintendo) and it’s the only boost game I can play at the moment without setting up my PC or taking out my ps3 from the closet but if there was another boost game that was on the PS4 or a remaster of generations I would give this a much lower score.

    I enjoyed this game, I played it every day I came back from uni even powering through the classic levels, we had mania it was perfect so why is he even here? Much worse may I add.

    This game feels rushed and I really wish they took their time but I feel like they wanted it to compete with odyssey which was a HORRIBLE decision if that’s what they were going. I really wish they took their time and polished this game instead of rushing it and I’m really disappointed, it looked so promising and even if I did enjoy it my heart breaks for the game because of its potential to be so much more.    … Expand

The soundtrack is amazing, with blends of modern electronic, industrial, and retro synth/chiptune. Also, for the first time ever, people can actually immerse themselves into this cheese-tastic "war" story. You can create your own character (serious or ridiculous) and get dumped into the middle of an all out battle for survival similar to that awesome Saturday morning cartoon. Sure there are a lot of "on rails" sections, and some of the game has moments where it plays itself, but Sonic has been style over substance anyway. Stop with all of the harshness, and enjoy the game for what it is, a dumb, campy, cartoony action game. If you go in with no expectations or preconceptions, you will more than likely enjoy this game. I have easliy put in over 20 hours trying to collect everything, and all of these issues that people are having are not as common as you'd think. There have only been a handful of times where the controls derped out on me, and one or two clipping issues where I fell through the edge of a platform for whatever reason. The game is being patched, and Sega seems to be putting this one in the limelight, with free DLC (new episode with 3 stages that give some backstory to characters, and cosmetic stuff, including SANIC shirts. SEGA EMBRACED THE MEME!!!), and possible more that will add more to this new world of Sonic.It's only 30-40 dollars, not a full priced triple-A title. there are other games that are asking more for much less content. ($30 for a VR fishing game in FF 15.... seriously?) I can't force anyone to play this, but know that it is NOT as bad as people say. I have a love/hate relationship with Sonic games, and this one, where I had very little interest in, won me over big time after playing it myself.… Expand

Classic Sonic fans are better off playing Sonic Mania, meaning this game will only appeal to modern sonic fans anyway. combine that with his superfluous role in the plot, and the game would be better off replacing all of his levels with Tails levels instead.

    one caveat to this review: I'm not sure I would have liked the game as much as I did, if I had access to Mario Odyssey instead. Sonic Forces is a great platformer for the PS4, where it competes with Knack. however, on other systems, you may have better options available.    … Expand

    Sonic Forces is not the worst sonic game but Sonic Forces is one of the most uncreative game of all time. Don't get me wrong, the dialogue and the voice acting seems improved a lot, the cutscenes are cinematic and the graphics are impressive, even though the graphics are worse than Generations and Unleashed. However, Sonic team is making the same mistakes over and over again, making that game is so uninspired that Sonic just FORCES you guys for giving SEGA money and of course the game is just a joke.
    Although Sonic Mania was released and it's a great game, Sonic Forces once again become one of Sonic's mediocre game. Not only than that, but it's also killing the Sonic Franchise and that's the worst moment at any cost.    … Expand

    Es un buen juego y sega hizo buen trabajo. No es una revolución, mas bien es un juego para mantener vivo al personaje por que da para mas. La jugabilidad esta bien hasta cierto punto, sonic moderno tuvo sus típicas fases frenéticas y de implemento bien la nueva jugabilidad del avatar que aparte tenia una personalización infinita y para todos los gustos, el único que fue en declive fue el de Classic sonic que “cojeaba” en aspectos como su velocidad que sentía a veces que se frenaba y en el spin dash que era lo que me gustaba del del generations, eso si implementaron el drop dash que podía mas o menos fácilmente eclipsar lo demás.
    En general me gusto la historia, no era un sonic adventure 2 obviamente pero mejor que los últimos juegos después de unleashed. Eso si tenia huecos argumentales y algún que otro fallo de lo que podía ser la historia como que : “por que silver aparece en la resistencia así de la nada” o, el poco o nulo protagonismo de Chaos. Lo otro bueno son la participación constante en la historia de los amigos de Sonic , excepto de tails y Classic sonic. Lo otro bueno son los niveles, que en general todos me gusto mucho el diseño con una calidad grafica bastante buena para ser una portátil donde también los 920 p no se notan, aparte opino que me impresiono como sega logro hacer que el control del personaje sea como de 60 fps a pesar de que el juego valla a 30fps .Lo ultimo malo seria que los jefes son fáciles y un poco igual los niveles que de ves en cuando te cuesta sacar una S.
    Nota 10/10

    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    5 años han pasado, no solo he logrado un juicio critico completamente superior a esa época si no que, incluso en aquel tiempo sabia en mi interior que estaba siendo benévolo con sonic, por que honestamente en aquel tiempo también me sentí decepcionado, pero nunca me pareció justo el trato que estaba recibiendo sonic y por eso decidí defenderlo. Aun así y aunque siga defendiéndolo en muchos sentidos, creo que debo ser justo con este juego y exponer mi nueva perspectiva critica.

    Evidentemente era un juego con el propósito de mantener al sonic moderno "vivo" en el mercado, uno completamente mediocre y que es hasta un poco triste.
    El diseño de niveles de sonic moderno se vio limitado a pasillos con apenas una que otra ruta diferente que al final vuelve al mismo camino rápidamente, no se recompensa en casi ningún sentido el esfuerzo por querer encontrar mejores formas de pasar el nivel, sobre todo por que hagas lo que hagas o como quieras hacerlo podrás obtener una S super fácilmente. El personaje es super estático y el homing attack es mucho peor utilizado en el diseño del nivel, sin decir que se siente mas torpe, lo demás lo típico, todo muy automatizado, super corto y con físicas limitadas.

    Nuestro personaje tiene un customize bastante pobre, personalmente no exijo mucho en un customizador y aun así sentí que todo era super simple. El diseño de niveles del personaje esta OK, realmente no es que me haya impactado ningún nivel y en realidad no soy el mayor fan de los wisp ni de cerca, pero si admito es algo que diversifica mucho la manera en que puedas pasarte los niveles, y los con Sonic en general estaban bn.

    Classic sonic sigue siendo medianamente disfrutable, pero su control y físicas fue contundentemente empeorado con respeto a generations, a veces tiene un diseño agradable, a veces es completamente olvidable.

    La historia es de lo peor de todo sonic, Ken Pontac creo que ha sido el escritor desde Colors y es de lo mas reprochable que ha tenido Sonic desde que existe, colors si bien tiene un desarrollo super infantil y con un sonic simplificado a solo bromas, no se tomaba en serio y el contexto seguía siendo un poco interesante, en Generations la historia es una justificación básica sin relevancia, Lost World fue una cosa rara, pero en Sonic Forces la historia se pasa de pretenciosa, intentado tomarse en serio varias veces, con personajes que están absolutamente infantilizados. Un montón de fanservice , ya sea los villanos, los secundarios, sonic clasico o tails, todos tienen un impacto casi nulo en lo que pasa y solo son justificados por una "guerra" de la que ni sabemos de como se llego ahí, y creando incongruencias completas con algunos como silver o Knuckles (como casi siempre). Aparte, ¿y las esmeraldas? ¿No era un momento obvio para ocuparlas o buscarlas?. Y bueno infinite es un villano planísimo y "edgy".

    Lo demás, apartado grafico decente, visual bastante bueno, música que incluso siendo obviamente mainstream la considero bastante buena (No la mejor de un Sonic ni de cerca), y pues todo al final para un cierre fácil y con un mensaje que queda super intrascendente y tiempo de juego mínimo, que ni si quiera el precio reducido justifica.

The music was good for the most part with only 1 or 2 songs i didn't like. The bosses were a huge let down as they were not exciting and for most boss battles all you do is boost close up to the enemy and do a homing attack over and over until it is over. Overall it's a okay game. Nothing great which is a shame since i had high hopes for this game after Sonic Mania was so good. If you do want to buy it still though i would wait until its $20.… Expand

    Não tem como comparar Sonic Forces com Sonic Mania, só o protagonista é o mesmo, os estilos de jog sao diferentes, mas se querem saber qual é melhor como jogo do sonic, certeza o Mania ganha de lavada, Forces pra mim foi apenas mais um jogo sem graça do Sonic, que vai pegar poeira na minha coleção, pois a menos que venham mais atualizações, não vejo pq joga-lo denovo, enquanto Sonic Mania considero uma benção, um presente, de fans para fans, se vc nao jogou, jogue.
    Sonic Forces pecou muito, acertou em algumas coisas, e acho que ainda não conseguiram fazer a formula do sonic funcionar bem no 3d.
    Lembrando que essa é a minha analise, baseada na minha experiencia, vcs tem a liberdade de comentar e só peço respeito, sei que o grupo é legal mas, fan é fan né, eu tbm me considero fan do sonic, por isso quis jogar pra poder argumentar.

    Sonic forces is a lot like Sonic Colors to me. But better and worse for different reasons. Lets start with the gameplay.

He can actually turn while going fast and this warrants there being no drift, although I think they should have kept it for tighter turns where boost pads are usually used or sonic just auto turns. The only complaints I have with Modern Sonic is his jump is slightly odd feeling to me, more stiff than the other games, and I also think the level design in his stages was WAY too linear and short, but that goes for most of the stages. Besides the Classic ones. Next, the Avatar. The Avatar is like a modern Sonic with worse controls, a worse jump, and lower speeds with no boost. Yet still somehow enjoyable. Guess it has some charm to it as you get to play as your own character. The level design for the Avatar is better than the Modern Sonic stages. but still short and pretty linear. The amount of customization for the Avatar is very impressive and fun to mess around with. Last and very much least, Classic Sonic. To put it shortly: he'es meh. His controls are better and worse than generations for different reasons. But the dropdash is cool, I guess. I would give the gameplay a 6.5/10

    Next: the story. It's great! Finally an actual story that isn't just a bunch of crappy "jokes" and cringe. My one complaint is the way Tails is portrayed. He's a **** **** Oh and Infinite's backstory was WEAK. So I would give the story a 8/10

    Finally, the music. Hit or miss! I personally liked most of the soundtrack and loved a select few of the songs, and FINALLY LYRICS AGAIN in a sonic game! Missed them. But I also miss Crush 40. I really love the theme Fist Bump! It reminds me of Sonic Heroes. But still, it's subjective. I would give the music a 9/10.

    Final Score: 7.5/10 (rounded to 8). The game is good, but nothing special. Feels like a test for future games more than a full on game.    … Expand

YES! But if you like hard games that are a bit more mature and doesn't use bad memes and cringy subtitels, no. But whatever i liked it and i do understand if some people don't    … Expand

    I don't see the hate for this. It is a fun game with a good story and a great soundtrack. This game deserves more praise

    While it looks and sounds great on an S-rank run, regular play is messy and unsatisfying. Mania's Classic Sonic must wonder what nightmare dimension he got sucked into. [Jan 2017, p.90]

    As the latest generation of the Sonic series, Sonic Forces retains the high-speed game experience. To comply with the trend of the times, Sonic Forces reduces the difficulty, hoping to use this strategy will attract new players who have never tried this kind of game. Unfortunately, the length is not sufficient enough to satisfy players, and too much repetitive content makes this game boring.

    The efforts for modern concept of the legend came out of the way. Sonic Forces has obvious problems with the transition between two perspectives as well with the movement and speed. Only customization possibilities and several new weapons saves it from the average.
